THAT IOWA OUTRAGE.

| The report sent out through one of the
departments of government at Washing
ton, the general land Office, of the treat
ment of settlers In northern Iowa by Brit
ish claimants to disputed land, is almost
hey ond belief In this country, vet when we
think of the treatment Of the same class Of
sharks within their own domain towards
subjects of their own government we are
prepa red TO accept the news IS true. l!
seems that the poor, helpless people are do
Ing all they can in self defense, but that
amounts to nothing against the usurpers,
armed with physical force. The occur
renee Is an outrage exceeding in brutality
the arbitrary arrest Of American fishermen
IN dis puted waters and the Confscation of
their property, in which matters the gov
eminent felt constrained to interfere, and
1t cannot fail to take prompt action In this
last affair 1t makes the true Americans
blood boil to read of the cruelties practiced
by the heartless British landlord toward
his Irish tenants ard he never misses an
opportunity to protest against it, both by
word and material aid to the oppressed,
and it cannot be expected of. him that he
will quietly sit by and see such bar barities
practiced towards his own fellow citizens
without protesting more vigorously than
mere words can convey.
The citizens of the United States with
one voice demand immediate and full repa
ration for the outrage perpetrated in Iowa,
and the punishment of those engaged In 1t.
Teach these usurrers lesson that all
aliens will do well to learn-that is, that |
the rights of the American citizen, how
ever humble, are a sacred possession that
will be guarded by the full power of the
government
The occurrence emphasizes the wis
dom of Senator Plumb's bill
introduced in the last congress,
which was designed to prevent such out
RACES by precluding the ownership of lands
by foreign syndicates or corporations. The
government is, and has been for some time
the law in relation to lands held
by corporations of our own people, and it
cannot afford to be less rigid in its dealings
with foreigners.
As before stated, the Iowa occurrences
sound almost incredible, and it is to be
hoped that prompt investigation will show
.hat the affair Is not as bad as at first
stated, but nothing short of a searching
inquiry into 1t and statement Of the partic-
1lsrs in full will satisfy the people of the
country at large.

Hon. VIM. D. Kelley makes an elaborate
ar gument in the current number of the
Forum against the whisky tax His princi
pal poins of objection Is that said tax adds
only fraction Of cent to the cost Of each
drink of liquor. and hence does not serve
any distinct moral purpose As the Globe
Democrat remarks, we are afraid Mr. Kelley
simply succeeds in showing that burden
which rests so lightly upon the individual
citizen al d yet yields revenueof SIC, 000,
600 per year is precisely the kind of thing
that should be continued.

AN ECHO.

The following is from letter to Rev. R.
Rock of this city. by Dayton, Ohio, gen.

Biblical Seminary of that city, and to

Taking for his text the remark Of a
muewump who controls Cleveland Or

Cabot Lodge, In an address recently made
In Boston said: Parties will be got d OF

eminent, government by debate as we IN

Continuing, Mr. Lodge held that the great
est advances which have come TO human
freedom have come through political
parties, and that purely personal politics OF
the faction whose controlling principle is

narrowing. The mugwump may now be
expected severely TO reproye MIR. Lodge

CONTEMPTIBLE MEANNESS.

AS we have said before, there seems to
be preconcerted determination on the
part of certain classes of Democrats to
force politics upon the G. A r., or that
organization into politics At the recent
grand encampment at ST. Louis every sem
blance of politics was carefully eliminated
from every act Of the body and nothing
was done to give the least shade of pretext
for laying such accusation against 1t. But
in the face Of all this, facts that cannot be
truthfully denied, the simple circumstance
Of the election of the new commander-in-
chief Is seized upon by the busybodies
mentioned and effort is being made to have
1t appear that Judge Rae was chosen solely
because he was Republican In preference
to General Slocum, Democrat In speak
ing Of the matter q Democratic exchange
says: I'm st. Louis everything done took
par It's an turn, and General Slocum was
beaten ~ Judge Rae for commnnder-in-
chief dining the succeeding year strictly on
the ground that he was a Democrat and
the other Republican. 1t Is said the
Democrats will Withdraw from 1t pretty
much in body and leave the organization
as merely an appendsge of the Republican
party" We have no patience with any
such cowardly course of action. We
are not member Of the G.
A. R., but we cannot refrain
from speaking when We see such
deliberate attempt to besmirch 1t by those
who have failed to use It for selfish pur
poses. The G. A. R. is composed of hon
orabc men and patriots and are entitled to
the highest consideration as such.
We do not believe that the Democratic
members of the organization will withdraw
from 1t; we think they have too much good
sense to do SO foolish thing for go senseless
reason as that set up But If they should,
still 1t would rot "leave the organization as
merely as an spperdsge of the Republican
party" In becoming member Of the G.
A R., as we understand II, a person Is no;
required to swear or forswear allegiance TO
any political party; that the members do
not know or care what his political
opinions are, so he conformsto the require
ments In a moral and social way
1t is not pleasant reflection but It Is
forced upon US nevertheless. that this mat
ter of politics In the G. 4. r. ss
sprung by Democrats, come from a
mere association Of ideas, That organizs-
ton, as verybody knows is made up Of
the men, in part, who composed the armies
which suppressed the rebellion insugursted
or brough, about by the Democratic party,
and they suppose the men who composed
the army and likewise The G. A R, are Re-
publicans We admit ,hss such ressonin z
Is not without logic, but the conclusion Is
erroneous IS Is shown by the fsct that both
the srmy and the G. A. r contain many
patriots who were and are Democrats.

WHY THE TREASURY SURPLUS CON
TIMES.

In view Of the facts that the money OF
the people, which should be employed in
rehabilitafing the Impoverished south, and
In otherwise adding to the wealth OF the
people and the power and glory of the
country, Is pouring into the vaults OF the
treasury at the rate Of more than 81 600,
900 per day; that there are none OF our
bonds that the government can call at Its
option and pay at par, and that there will
be none for more than four years, when
less than $3.50, 000,00 will mature;
that there are now on deposit with
the United States treasurer, as Sc
curity for national bank notes and gov
eminent deposits. about $50 1000. 900,
or nearly one third of these bonds; that
when these 10 per cents shall have been
paid, no further outlet for surplus funds
can occur for twenty years. or until the
4 per cents shall be paid In 1907; that our
receipts from internal taxes, as shown by
the foregoing table, are increasing at the
rate of nearly 81, 600, 900 per year. aud that II
annual payments on account of the sink
ing fund are to be maintained they will
effect an annual reduction of $4,000, 600 In
our payments of interest; that the interests
of all our other manufacturing industries
are antagonized by three affili-
ated monopolies, each OF which
owes its existence to the
provisions of the international tax laws,
viz. the distillers of spirits from grain,
known as the whisky ring. of the wide
spread agencies of which ring the distil-
lers are but the central influence; the few
wealthy manufacturers Of tobacco, in
whose hands the invidious and oppres,
sive provisions of the tax law have con-
centrated the entire trade of the country
and, thirdly, the Brewers Association;
that the legal privileges of these monop-
olies are supported by the saloonkeepeIs
of the country and their unhappy vic
Tins, and by hosts of misguided champions
of temperance aud religion, whose strange
alliance with these interests recalls John
Rsndolph's denuuciation of supposed
political bargain as coalition between a
Puritan and blackleg; and, finally, that
during the fiscal yeer just closed, the IN
teInal revenue bureau disbursed, as 1t
has done for many years over
$4,000, 000' among four thousand sup
porters of this system Of war taxes
by the agency of which it Is sought to
cripple the productive industries of the
country; In view Of these portentious facts,
action ought to be taken for the
abolition Of these sources of surplus revenue
and the overthrow of the demoralizing In
1uences which aspire to the control of our
national and Industrial policy'-Judge
William D. Kelley, ia the Forum for Octo
her

1t sounds incredible but 1t Is stated as a
fact, nevertheless, that In New York polyg.
amy may be carried on legally and with

If the offender be Lot woman. 4 man
may have two or more wives, all legally his
wives, each entitled to their third of his
estate when he dies and they may all live
under the same roof with him, rear families
of children, and he be not disturbed unless
the first one of the wives Is the disturber.
There are several cases of this poly gamous
life led by men of prominence, while In
stances in which women have two husbands,
both consideIate enough to keep quiet,
exist IN numbers not to be laughed at. In
one instance, lawyer lives with the wife
of FORMER client, with thatclients knowl-
edge end consent. The opposing lawyer is
living Will INC divorced wife of former
partner, wilhou. interference from the

the district attorney was written by an
assistant who had two wives on bis hands
